5. Operating the Water Fountain
The Petkit Eversweet Mini offers different operating modes to suit your pet's needs and conserve energy.
5.1 Power On/Off
Once plugged in, the fountain will automatically start operating. To turn off, simply unplug the device. For smart control, use the Petkit APP.
5.2 Operating Modes (via APP Control)
Use the Petkit APP to switch between the following modes:
- SMART Mode: This energy-saving mode operates the water circulation intermittently (e.g., 3 minutes on, 3 minutes off). This helps prolong the life of the pump and filter while still providing fresh water.
- NORMAL Mode: Provides continuous water circulation, simulating a constant spring flow. This mode is ideal for pets who prefer uninterrupted access to moving water.

5.3 Water Shortage Indicator
The integrated Bluetooth signal controller on the power cord features light indicators to alert you to water levels:
- Blue Light Flashing: Indicates a water shortage. Please refill the reservoir.
- Green Light Flashing: Also indicates a water shortage. Please refill the reservoir. (Note: The specific color for water shortage may vary or indicate different levels; refer to APP for precise details).

Regular maintenance ensures the longevity and hygienic operation of your Petkit water fountain.
6.1 Daily Maintenance
- Check the water level daily and refill as needed.

6.2 Weekly Cleaning

- Disassemble the water fountain: remove the top tray, filter element, and water pump.
- Clean the ceramic body and water tray with warm water and a mild, pet-safe detergent. Rinse thoroughly to remove all soap residue.
- Clean the water pump: Disassemble the pump if possible (refer to pump instructions if provided separately) and clean any debris from the impeller.
